FRANKFURT, Germany — The Army says seven soldiers have been injured in a training exercise in Germany and two of them were flown to a hospital intensive care unit.

The soldiers, none of whom has been identified, were injured in a vehicle accident Monday afternoon at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in southern Germany, the Army said Tuesday.

The other five suffered injuries and were taken to another hospital. Three have been released and the other two were set to be released later Tuesday.

All seven soldiers are part of V Corps, U.S. Army Europe.
